Fulvestrant. The name reads mouthful, but for women battling hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer, it is something worth mentioning.This injectable medication, working by blocking estrogen's effects on cancer cells, helps slow, halt, or even stop tumor growth.Now imagine all the steps it takes to get it safely and effectively into the hands of patients who need it.
Fulvestrant, like many other biologics, is highly vulnerable to temperature fluctuations and every leg of the journey can literally introduce potential temperature variations. From the tarmac to the cargo hold of an aircraft, and then onto trucks for final delivery, even seemingly minor deviations can have a significant impact on the drug’s stability.
That's why, for a recent shipment we handled (from Shanghai to Frankfurt), we found active temperature-controlled containers like DoKaSch Temperature Solutions Opticooler RAP E2 could be particularly handy for a job like this. The Dokasch Opticooler RAP E2 is basically a "smart" container. It’s a portable pharmaceutical-grade refrigerator that actively refrigerates to keep the inside the exact temperature required (in this case, +2 to +8c). It is also GPS-tracked to make sure we know where the shipment is and if there is any delays.
We invest in the right cold-chain technology, processes, and expertise to make sure your critical medications can reach the people who need them quick. Let us hear about your next shipment.
